Just received a beautiful 2014 Gibson SG Bass from Iain - Could not have wished for a smoother transaction - lots of updates and information along the way. This was my first purchase here on basschat, so I was a little trepidatious about the process - However Iain's feedback here was very good, so I took the plunge.
Fantastic Seller and what a bloody bass!
Thank you and best wishes from Cornwall.

A Thousand Years Of Light - live at LETS - New Psych Rock / Prog / Acid / Space Rock

Filmed by Brendan McGreal (Cornish Underground).
Thousand Years of Light (TYOL) are an English progressive rock band formed in 2015 by Simon Trundle, Nick Perry, Tim Chapple and former guitarist John Weathered Warner.
TYOL’s early 2015 sessions were unashamedly reflective of Hawkwind, using space rock, prog and elements of psychedelia. After John’s departure in February 2017, TYOL began to rework their material with current guitarist Si Spring.
Si has inspired TYOL to develop a powerful, retro, prog rock sound with the use of increasingly atmospheric and dramatic arrangements, richer melodies and dynamically combining grinding, powerful guitars with long, drifting lead breaks. Passages of truly astounding prog offers the platform to the strong, haunting voice of Perry to deliver his epic and sometimes grandiose lyrics that are in no way eclipsed by the band’s bizarre stage names including Baron Von T, Mirrorhead, Didier Pulsar and Pan Zooot.
Thousand Years of Light remain contemporary despite their influences and perhaps could best be described as, 21st century prog!
"Something is happening, emerging, crystallising from compassion. An awakening, a movement, a realisation. The crystallising machine of change".

[size=5][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#1D2129]I'm looking to replace the strings on my Korean longhorn, I can't remember what strings Dano put on them from new? I'd like as much or maybe more twang.[/color][/font][/size]
[size=5][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#1D2129]I like the tension and gauge of the original strings, and flats are not an option, as I've got my Mustang set up with flats already.[/color][/font][/size]
[size=5][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#1D2129]I was concerned about getting them through the small tuner peg[/color][/font][/size]
[color=#1D2129][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=5]I'm guessing they are 40-90 [/size][/font][/color][font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"][color="#1d2129"][size=5]gauge strings.[/size][/color][/font]

Here's a live recording from my band - I'm using a MIJ Mustang Bass, recorded on a ZOOM R8 Recorder.

I like the punchiness of the single coil, Squier Vista certainly would be a better bet than the original spec Musicmaster.
A vain hope I suppose, but always looking to find an old modded musicmaster...... Must have been plenty of them with upgraded pickups and bridges?

I have the Mustang PJ, which I love. I've discovered short scales after many years on longer scale basses.
I would like to buy a second Fender short scale - my budget will allow a used MIJ Mustang re-issue, or a beat up Musicmaster Bass.
I'm hoping to find a bass that plays as well as the PJ, but is sonically different as I don't want two basses that do the same thing.
So - which one would you choose?
